The longstanding campaign aims to raise awareness of the consequences of treating dogs as gifts or toys. Every year hundreds of thousands of children plead for the latest fad or top toy on the market, only to discard them a few weeks after Christmas when the novelty wears off. Unfortunately, the same perception is also apparent with dogs. We are continually seeking to change this.

I want to bring to your attention a wonderful campaign that Kristen of Saturated Canary is running. She is trying to raise funds for St Jude's Children's Research Hospitalin Memphis Tennessee who are trying to find cures for children with cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Now before you say 'Yes but that's in USA' please remember that research anywhere will benefit children all over the world and lots of British children have gone to America for treatments of one kind or another.

But if that is not a good enough reason for you to donate to the cause then how about this; Krista is giving away 2 digi's in exchange for your donation! Now surely that alone is worth a small, or even a big, donation to her cause.

Read about her campaign for yourself here and if you are not familiar with her work have a look around while you are there.

Hi, my name is Elaina and I live in Kings Lynn, Norfolk with my Husband, Daughter and a selection of pets.

I have been crafting since I was a child when I learnt to knit and do cross stitch. I started making cards about 20 years ago when I discovered stamping and embossing. I have tried all sorts of other crafting techniques and currently I am doing a lot of Mixed Media work.

I was privileged to spend three years studying traditional needlework techniques at the Royal School of Needlework based in Hampton Court Palace. Amongst other techniques I learnt Silk shading, Goldwork, Whitework and Blackwork.
